Apparently Ive been under a rock - Cool tech toy

[Burst]

While at my other job I noticed someones key chain ring with what looks like a keyless entry on it. I picked it up and saw a wifi hotpsot locator on a key ring. I thought it was really cool. I tested it and it worked pretty good.

Anyone else use these before?

lol. I have one, im pretty sure I payed around $9 for it at Best Buy.

I haven't tried one before, but a friend of mine say they're great?

I guess, I mean my iPhone does that same thing but he says it's not the same.

I don't know.

Mine can find signals my iPhone doesn't, that's kind of pointless because I can't use it if my iPhone doesn't find it.

I guess it would make wardriving easier. Nowadays there are so many places that offer wifi, you really shouldnt need to wardrive. Ive seen seafood restaurants advertise that they have wifi haha!
